Technically it would be the obligatory 3 from AJ every 4.5 games considering he only attempted 7 total last year (and missed them all).

I think every game AJ shot at least 1 long one... maybe not a 3, but further out than a free throw. And he missed all of them but very few. I'm fine with letting him try the longer jump shots again in the early season playing cupcakes to see if he's hitting those shots better after another off-season. But if he isn't hitting them better than last year, then I agree the red light needs to come on. You'd think just as a smart player, looking a high percentage vs. low percentage shots, AJ would turn the red light on for himself. With the weapons we have on this team, and especially if AJ's hitting out to 10-12 feet, that's far enough. How many close games did we lose last year? How many of them would we have won just by eliminating a few bad shot decisions (and not just AJ)? I hope our maturity helps us do a little better in that area this year.
I say use the "Modified Chally Principle" to determine the outcome. That would be AJ gets a green light for his first attempt of the season, and if he makes it, he can take another during that game. If he misses it, no more attempts for at least seven games.
The "Full or Regular Chally Principal" equates to an automatic green light for any game if you make your first attempt.
While wondering what Chally meant I soon realized it reminded me of Nemanja's early 3 attempts followed by a 2nd if he made the first. Calasan. I get it Tex. Good one
If Hill makes more than 15 3s at 33% or better, I will be unbelievably surprised. His 3 shot is very broken
Or Keith Edmonson - he was the definition of smooth.
